Alexander the Great

I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.

There is nothing impossible to him who will try.

Upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.

I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity.

Through every generation of the human race there has been a constant war, a war with fear. Those who have the courage to conquer it are made free and those who are conquered by it are made to suffer until they have the courage to defeat it, or death takes them.

An army of sheep led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by a sheep.

Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.

I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.

How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.

My treasure is my friends.

I am dying from the help of too many physicians.

Let us conduct ourselves so that all men wish to be our friends and all fear to be our enemies.

Toil and risk are the price of glory, but it is a sweet price to pay.

I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion.

Bury my body and don't build any monument. Keep my hands outside the coffin so that the world knows that the person who won the world had nothing in his hands when dying.

Are you not ashamed to be so much concerned about your money, and so little about your soul and your wisdom and your improvement?

I do not steal victory.

I am not afraid of the enemy, but of my own men.

With the right attitude, self-imposed limitations vanish.

I would rather excel in the knowledge of the highest things, than in the extent of my power and dominion.
